Lennox Boiler Reviews | Consumer Ratings
Lennox offers several different types of boilers, including their most efficient boiler, which is a modulating condensing boiler that offers efficiency ratings up to 95% AFUE. Modulating means the boiler runs at a firing rate according to demand, and the condensing boiler leeches out as much heat as possible. A condensing boiler utilizes so much heat it produces the can use an approved low-temperature venting. Venting such as PVC or CPVC where a conventional boiler vents much more heat that requires high-temperature venting materials to vent the combustion byproducts.

Lennox makes the worst product possible and offers the worst service there is. I have learned this from sad experience and encourage anyone thinking of buying a Lennox to check out any other product.

Perhaps you had a bad experience with a particular Lennox dealer. While I do have my opinion about Lennox (both good and bad) if you do not have a good dealer for service then the product can be lacking. It boils down to the service and installation of the product.
